A Decade Burned; But, Still, I Made It To The Spiritual Light; A Spiritual Awakening

God’s Hands are always reaching for us. It is on us to extend our hand back.

Just like going through that darkness, know that the whole time, my Faith was enough for me to know, God was there pushing, guiding, never turning his back on me.

Successfully coming out of the darkness, putting our guts, & faith into our High Powers, to believe that the Power is there with us in the dark, guiding us out, to receive rewards us with God’s endless blessings. By understanding that sometimes there may be short cuts out of difficult places and dark times, but it may be at the expense of others, like cheating, stealing, or lying, those short cuts though successful short term, can have a chance of coming back to Haunt us someday.

Do the right thing, especially when nobody is looking.

With a New Vision, we can make what we envision a reality, if we are willing to put in the work; overtime at that. I came through Addiction, to the other side…
